Today, Jackson Hole is a winter and summer playground for outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world. Skiing, snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking and kayaking are just some of the activities. "The Last and the Best of the Old West," Jackson Hole's culture is unique, blending its western heritage with that of a destination resort. On the board sidewalks of Jackson, cowboys with hats and spurs are often juxtaposed against snowboarders with dreadlocks and nose rings.

Prehistoric visitors came to feed the body. Today's visitors nourish the spirit. Management of Grand Teton National Park honors the mandate to protect the natural systems that produce the scenery and wildlife for the enjoyment of future generations.
